Art on Wheels: Expressive Lines (kindergarten to grade 3)
The element of art is integral to all works of art. Students will create their artwork using different lines created with various tools. This workshop will focus on artworks from the PAMA collection to help students understand the use of lines and apply its principles to their artworks.
This program is ideal for younger grades as it encourages them to experiment and develop skills in making art. Students will also learn basic information about colour and how to apply it to their final piece.
Curriculum links
Students develop an understanding of jagged, curved, broken, dashed, spiral, straight, wavy, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and zigzag lines; lines in art and everyday objects (natural and human-made). They learn this by using different materials, tools, and techniques to respond to various design challenges.
